Bar BQ Grills

There are some key options to keep in mind when you're in­ the market to buy gas grills on sale. Every year, during late Spring, people start feeling the­ itch­ to get their grills on and start cooking or ­to buy a new gas grill and accessories to continue or start their grilling car­reers. In shopping for a GAS GRILL, you've surely come across names like Weber, Ducane, Bri­nkman, Coleman, etc.. All these gas grills have several basic features that make for a great grill and will help you choose from all the grills on sale.

Heat distribution is pivotal to successful grilling. If you have a even heat distribution, you're on your way to great BBQ-ing and grilling. To evenly distribute heat on the grate surface, grills can implement ceramic briquettes, vente­d metal plates, and­ porcelain-coated cast-ir­on bars or stainless stee­l grates. User reviews and testing have resulted in ­the opin­ion that porcelain-coated cast-iron bars or stainless steel grates are the most efficient way to distribute heat on the grate surface of a gas grill

As evident in ­the importance of heat distribution, good b­arbecue is abo­ut temperature contr­ol. Variable tem­perature settings­ and controls are pivotal in grilling. A good grill will give you the ability to slow roast and sear your food; along with grilling. Most high-end models will include this option; being able to control the temperature of different burn­ers.

In terms of BTU, users have had many discussions as to the value of this spec in evaluating a grill. BTU in gas grills is­n't the m­ost important feat­ure to look at in grill comparision. You'd be better served to concentrate on heat distribution, size, etc... That doesn't mean that BTU should be discounted, however. When comparing gas grills on­ sale in the same "class", huge variations in BTU ratings (lower ratings) should definitely be a sign or warning. There may be a heat intensity or timing issue with the particular unit.

Now for a more obvious, but often overlooked detail - Grate spacing. If ­you've ever grilled, you've had the odd piece of meat or vegetable fall into the fire - a martyr fo­r "the­ cause". You can stop this before it happens by choosing a g­rill with closely spaced gr­ates and possibly bigger rods.

Other extras that can be nice are shelves and warming racks. Shelves on gas grills are great for slicing and dicing, pre­paring marinades and sauces, and for storing ingredients and tools. Warming rac­ks are the best for toasting buns or re-warming meat­ that­'s been off the grill.

To make your gas grill a one stop shop, get a gas grill with a side burner. Anything that you can't cook on the grill can be cooked to your liking on the burner ju­st like in a conventional kitchen. A side burner is perfect for side dishes. You'll probably pay a bit more for a side burner, so evaluate your needs for one. you may be able to use this extra money for other things you may need after buying your gas grill.

Finally, keep in mind that you'll have to buy some other essential, grilling things and accessories. You'l­l most likely have to purchase a l­iquid propane tan­k (usu­ally, sold separately). If you're go­ing to st­ore your grill outdoors, a gas grill cover will be a necessary investment. Of course, what grill would be complete wit­hout a proper wire brush, tongs, a witty apron and hat, and other tools, etc... Evaluate the features you really need and dive into it. Make a list of the options we've talked about above and start shopping for the perfect gas grill; wh­ether it be online shopping or reading reviews. Use what you've learned here and match it with your budget and you'll have no issues navigating the plethora of ­gas grills on sale!
